Using Cooking Skills as Coping Skills for Motherhood

Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower

Have you ever gone to a nail salon and looked at the bottom of those luscious colored nail polish bottles? Most likely you saw something that surprised you. An absolute crazy name for a color. Two major nail companies do a really good job of giving original names for the plethora of colors they offer.

Who’s job is it to name those colors? I think it might be the most awesome job ever. Really. Ever.

I recently was driving around a van full of my female in-laws. (This may sound horrible and scary to most of you, but this was a group of amazing and hilarious women. ) Together we came up with some new names for nail colors that we feel could be best sellers:

Walk of Shame-peeling blue

Baby Tears-clear

Infant Spit-Up-textured white

Sorry, I have a Headache. Again.-red

Broken Dreams-cracked gold

Miles High Piles of Laundry-rainbow

Hot Dogs in Your Mac and Cheese-yellow with brown sparkles

Overserved-an empty bottle

Don’t Make Me Come Back There-black

MommyJuice-cabernet red

If you worked for the big polish companies, what would you name your colors?

Think about it while you make some of this delicious Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower.
